Summer 2011

Summer always passes too quickly in Michigan. I do like several things about fall - football, apples, cider, hayrides and the beautiful colors, but I don't look forward to the grey in November.  In August we spent a beautiful week up in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area.  It was wonderful!  I have hundreds of photos but have managed to capture a few in these two layouts via Studio J.

I used one of the kits from the new fall catalog: Elemental.  This is a super versatile paper pack and think I will use it a lot.  The family layout was copied from the suggested layout shown in the idea book.   See here: Studio J Elemental

You can try Studio J with no obligation - just create an account, upload photos and get started!  If you like what you can see you can then order. 

Summer in Michigan remembered in Studio J

 Winter is long here in Michigan but the summer usually makes it worth the wait!  This is a layout I created in Studio J from a day at the beach in 2010. I chose the Majestic Blue paper kit for my layout.   The weather so far in July has been picture perfect and we are anxious to get to Lake Michigan again.  On our only trip in June the water was still very cold.  This past weekend we spent some time at a friend's cottage on Gun Lake and time at the pool.  We enjoyed the sun and water and trying to stay cool!
